Ann was carefully grabbing her things to go to the hospital when she felt some kind of brief wind start up in her apartment and turned in surprise to see her adult girlfriend standing behind her in a Belle costume.
"I...uh...I thought you weren't going trick or treating?" Ann asked curiously looking at Jackie's costume.
"Huh? Oh the costume, yeah, some kids from....I'll just make it brief, I was trick or treating with the girls as 10 year olds when I got your phone call and made myself an adult and transported here as quickly as I could." Jackie explained.
"I see, yeah, it's my right foot, see? I tried to chase those punks for a minute before twisting my foot and falling on the ground." Ann explained.
"My god, are you alright?"
"I will be once you drive me over to the hospital, I'm a little worried if I drive, I might make it worse." Ann said as Jackie helped her to her car as they left the apartment.
As they drove from the apartment, Jackie looked to the left and right looking a little bit angry.
"What's with that face?" Ann asked her girlfriend.
"If you by chance see the punks who made you hurt yourself, point them out to me and I'll gladly give them a trick." Jackie said angrily.
"Hey...hey, listen, darling, it's alright. You don't have to be the bigger bully to take down the other bullies, they'll get their comeuppance tonight somehow I'm sure." Ann said putting her hand on Jackie' shoulder.
Jackie silently nodded and smiled as she drove on.
Ann looked over at Jackie's costume and giggled a little.
"So you dressed up as Belle? Good choice, I think she's a great character." Ann complimented her.
"Thanks, I guess we'll have to change our plans for next week with Stephanie and Megan. We could maybe have a spa day?" Jackie suggested.
"Now that sounds heavenly." Ann sighed thinking about it.
Jackie hoped Gloria and her friends were having a good time without her and that Ann's injury wouldn't be too serious.
